  • Summary

  • Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

    From the creators of The Katering Show comes an ordinary workplace comedy set in the most extraordinary place on earth.

    Maya joins the long-running and much-lauded Bennett Station Adelie Penguin Program as a research assistant in Antarctica. By the time everyone figures out Maya’s completely unqualified for her job it’s too late – the ship is already en route back to Australia and no-one is getting in, or out, of Antarctica until the summer season ends.

    Written by Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney and produced by Guesswork Television in association with OK Great Productions.

Absolutely Loved

I laughed out loud more times than I can count. The quick wit of all the characters was great. Hats off to the comedy timing of everyone that participated. I highly recommend. I was actually bummed that there were only 8 episodes.

"I'm dying out of my bum"... So hilariously juvenile and refreshing.

I'm so glad I found this podcast. I love funny audiodramas, but always have a hard time finding good ones, and the ones I do find are never long enough. When I get to the last few of episodes of shows this good, I experience a mild sense of ennui that increases the closer I get to the end. I'm really hoping for a follow up season and other content from the creators, because they have a gift.

Hilarious and touching, I look forward to more!

Kate McLennan and Kate McCartney ought to have a bright career in writing for television - if they can write something as riotously funny as this, imagine what they could do with a big budget and an order for 30 episodes. I can't wait to see or listen to more from this talented crew. Five stars.

Hilarious, lighthearted listen

I love everything Kate McKinnon does!! She is so funny! And this did not disappoint! The cast was outstanding! If you’re looking for lighthearted, quirky, escapism listening, this is it

Real Chitty Chat About This Podcast

The story is funny, from small chuckles to crying laughing at times. It is unique, sometimes painful reminders about climate change, and very funny. I found the voice actors to be delightful. I like the story, I hope we get more from Kate and Kate.
